Satan’s temptation (1)

Jesus, who was tempted by Satan before starting His public ministry as the Redeemer (Lk. 4:1-13),

Overcame Satan’s three temptations (4:3, 7, 9-11) by quoting the words of Deuteronomy

(Deut. 8:3; 6:13; 6:16).

Then Satan went away for “until an opportune time” (Lk. 4:13),

And then returned and tempted Jesus, who was about to be crucified to complete His work, three times

By saying ‘save yourself’ (23:35, 37, 39)

(The purpose is to make the Redeemer Jesus not to bear our sins in our place and die on the cross).

In this way, there was Satan's temptation at the beginning and at the end of Jesus' ministry.

(As I am reading C. D. “Jimmy” AGAN III’s “The IMITATION of CHRIST in the GOSPEL of LUKE”)
